Welcome to New Members and New Meetup!

Hello everyone!I wanted to send everyone a quick note in order to thank everyone who's been participating, both online and offline, making our little community welcoming, enjoyable and great fun. Keep posting your photos, your comments and I hope to see you during our events. I might be awful with names but I'm very good with faces.

As well, I wanted to welcome all our newest members to the group! Hopefully some events will spark your interest and you'll come out and join us. We are nearing 500 city explorers and I think this is a wonderful number: that's a lot of people who have shown interest in photography, New York City and sharing with fellow enthusiasts.

Welcome new members! Hope you'll stay and join the fun!

Below you'll be able to find the newest event scheduled for this upcoming Saturday, at 10 am.

NYC Photo Outings is a great way to explore the five boroughs of New York City - and beyond - through your viewfinder among other photographers who share your passion. We can all take an image of the very same place or thing, but let's make it a challenge to put our own perspective or spin on what we are shooting instead of stepping into the same shoes of the person before us and pressing the shutter button!

An average outing will consist of a 2-2.5 hour photo walk with a fun challenge/contest (and one prize to one lucky participant per walk), directly followed by an optional meeting in a cafe or pub to share images over a few appetizers (at my expense) and optional drinks (at yours).

As I take on the role of your new Photo Outing Guide in April 2016, I'm gearing up with some ideas and challenges to lead us off and on our way to great images before Summer arrives.

If you're looking for a fun photography group to shoot with, learn from and share among, join us!

** PLEASE NOTE: Due to the time and cost of maintaining the group, post-walk meeting costs and a REAL prize awarded after each walk; please expect to pay approximately $10 per outing to contribute to time and costs involved. Thank you.**
